A bit under the weather- but rays of sun shining through

This week our friend Kirsty came for a visit. We worked together in 2002-2003 teaching English in Japan, and now she's back in England, teaching French and Spanish and considering another overseas move. It was super to catch up.

Here's us out together with students in Japan back then:


And now with Sam...

and at the Challah this morning(the site of Roman and medieval ages/Muslim ruins)


Unfortunately, Kirsty, Sam and I have all been feeling ill this week. At least she was able to come for long enough that we could spend some good time together even accounting for sick/downtime.

Sam, who took his first steps over a month ago, has decided this week that walking is in and crawling is out. I still need to get a good video of this- but for now, here's one of him wandering around naked after his bath (hope Sam doesn't mind this one being posted someday :-))
